ELKIN, N.C. — The Elkin Creek Vineyard now has new owners, two couples who became friends while working for Blue Man Group in Las Vegas.
Nick and Jennifer were looking for a wedding venue in 2008 and that's when they discovered Elkin Creek Vineyard on the internet.
"We all bring specific talents and skills that fit really well," Jennifer White said. "We worked together through Blue Man Group for so long that we developed skills about teamwork and communication. It's a pretty incredible team."
Elkin Creek Vineyard includes the winery, tasting room with 50-seat restaurant, historic Elkin Creek grist mill, a harvest barn, 44 acres of land and a five-acre vineyard. The couples now live in the renovated mill house and are building four upscale rental guest cabins that will open later this summer.
All four partners are originally from the East coast and each has some sort of family tie to North Carolina.
"I just felt a pull to get back to this part of teh country," Nick White said. "I still like the big city, but this is home."
